12 Wedding Photos to Capture Before You Say “I Do”

There is one day in your life when you want a photographer in your face (literally) from the moment you wake up until the clock strikes midnight, and that day is your wedding day. Aside from the traditional pictures during the ceremony and reception, there are so many memorable moments to capture before the first guest even arrives. Since we don’t want to add one more item to your overflowing wedding to-do list, we did all the pre-wedding photo research for ya. All you have to do is bookmark these ideas for your photographer and move on to your next task ;)

1. Champagne Toast: If there was ever an occasion that calls for bubbly, this is it. We love how this shot is captured in such a bright, casual setting. (via Je T’aime Beauty)

2. Casual Group Shot: Getting ready with your favorite girls is like one big sleepover, and you’ll want to capture it. The best part is that instead of staying up all night talking about the boy you have a crush on, you get to marry him. (via Laura Marchbanks)

3. The Groom and Dad: You won’t regret sending the photographer to check on the groom, because they’re sure to capture the perfect father-son moment. We can’t even deal with how sweet this is. (via W&E Photo Graphie)

4. Mother of the Bride: You’ll have plenty of time for formal pictures with your mom, but we love the idea of getting a more personal shot before all of the commotion begins. (via Julie Roberts)

5. Father of the Bride: He was the first man in your life, and there is something absolutely perfect about capturing those sweet moments before he walks you down the aisle. BRB, we’re just going to put Father of the Bride in to watch. (via Jay Pankhania)

6. Boys Will Be Boys: It’s never fair that the guys can get ready in half the time, but use that your advantage to capture a shot of them in their natural element. (via erdbeerwald)
